Quote of the Day

"It's a bitter day. Unfortunately, this decision by the U.S. administration will mean a loss of German jobs. The German employees don't deserve this".
-- German politician Roger Lewentz commenting on U.S. plans to withdraw 12,000 of 36,000 troops currently protecting Germany against imagined Russian aggression.

Clearly, Germany more worried about a drawdown of the U.S. job creation program in Germany than the Russian bear, a shadow of its former threat following WWII seventy-five years ago.
